Restart your PC

It may appear to be a useless step, but it is often one of the simplest ways to fix numerous issues your computer might be having. A simple reset will solve the incompatible settings which could be a reason for connectivity issues you have been facing, just do it, it only takes a minute. This step may also turn on your internet adapter, in case it was switched off.

Make sure that the laptop’s wireless adapter isn’t disabled

Most of the laptops contain a switch or button which turns the wireless adapter on and off. In case, you end up accidentally pressing the button, your system will get disconnected from the network. You should press the button or the switch if you want to turn on your wireless adapter once again.

You will need to hold the Fn button to be able to press the Wi-Fi key.

Restart your Internet modem and router

You need to unplug your modem and your router from their respective power sources, then wait for a few seconds, & plug them back in. Just like restarting your computer, this step too can solve most of the minor Internet issues.

Do a soft reset on your network

A soft reset can lead your router and modem to clear their caches and refresh. You can perform it by pressing a power button which is present on the face of your router.

Do a hard reset

A hard reset makes your router and modem to forget all the settings. It restores the network to the factory settings (also the factory network name & password). For a hard reset you will have to press and hold the “reset” button which is available on the back of the modem for some time, allow your system’s modem to reboot, and then repeat the this step with the router.

Move closer to the router

Sometimes your PC, laptop or smartphone is way too far from the checkpoint to connect. You need to move them closer to the router and try to connect it again.

Ensure that you have a clear line-of-sight between you and the router

If you cannot draw a line from the Internet-connected item to your router without passing through walls, or furniture etcetera etcetera then your chances of maintaining a healthy Internet connection reduce.

8.Try to use Ethernet

You need to connect your system to the router or modem using an Ethernet cable. It will speed up your Internet while it’s working and help to determine if there are any issues with your Internet or your equipment.

If your PC can connect to the Internet while being directly connected to the router, then there are high chances that your computer’s wireless reception is most probably the issue.

In case your PC can connect to the Internet while being connected to the modem, then the issue was most probably cause by the router.

If you are unable to connect to the internet while being connected directly to the modem, then probably something is wrong with the modem or with the internet service. You will have to get in touch with your internet service provider’s technical support line to fix the modem-related issues.
